Restaurant: Impossible · S22 E5
Boil and Roux
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
The rescue did not hold; it later closed in 2024.
The short answer
Multiple local news outlets confirm permanent closure at end of December 2024, after ~10 years in business: WAFB ("Boil & Roux in Baton Rouge is closing its doors at the end of the year") and BR Weekly Press ("Boil & Roux, a popular seafood restaurant on Coursey Boulevard, has announced its permanent closure"). Owners cited disputes with a Metro Council member and the liquor board.
What happened on the show
What the episode showed is not preserved in detail, so we stay honest about the boundary. Boil and Roux was a popular seafood restaurant on Coursey Boulevard in Baton Rouge, featured in this season 22 installment titled Roux the Day, but the Wikipedia list carries no synopsis for it. Rather than reconstruct a visit from nothing, we state only that the series' fixed forty-eight-hour, small-budget rescue premise applies here. The concrete, documented facts here are the where and the what, a seafood house on Coursey Boulevard that had been in business roughly a decade by the time its story reached its end, the kind of established local favorite the series tends to treat as worth saving. Whatever specific trouble the cameras found, the record does not keep it.
After the cameras left
Boil and Roux closed at the end of December 2024, after about ten years in business. WAFB and BR Weekly Press both confirmed the permanent closure, with the owners citing disputes with a Metro Council member and the liquor board. With several outlets in agreement, we log it closed as of December 30, 2024 at high confidence. A decade-long seafood favorite, it outlasted the cameras by nearly two years before the disputes its owners described brought the run to an end.
